My fiancee and I have been living together for about a year now, but we still have separate addresses. Mine is still my parents, which is only a block away, and her mailing address is her dad's and for some reason her W2 address is her mom's.

How big of a pain is it going to be to change addresses? I.e. tax returns, car registrations, drivers license? I know for mail you just fill out a form and the post office does the rest. Also, we want to combine car insurance policies to try and save a little coin. Is this a pain?

I know. I hate to change the car registration cause we are fayette co and we're in westmoreland now which means emissions tests, but im hoping to save like $80-100 a month on insurance by being on the same policies. I dont want to go to the DMV and get a new license though either.

The biggest pain I had changing addresses was come tax time where you had to keep track of all the paper work for the local taxes if you change counties. So keep track of what tax is getting paid where. Also, the Emergency Services Tax. Federal and State taxes shouldn't be a problem unless one of those addesses you mentioned is in a different state.

The registration and license is easy you can do both online. With the license they just send you a little paper card with your new address on it to keep with your license, you don't actually have to go and get a new physical license unless you want to. And then you have to pay for it.

Changing your mailing address can also be done online (usps.com). It will cost you $1 that they'll take from a credit card listed at your (original) home address.
